I should have thought about this one...
recorded a hospital before demolition where my mother had worked for 30 years - I often went there as a kid.. it was odd to know your way around, but now it was empty, apart from the odd broken bed or stationary cabinet.. needless to say I ensured my mothers office was well recorded .. and it added a new dimension to recording the past.
I am also now asking for a condition on a currently working Bus Station, where I want it recorded while still working.. SO instead of a record of empty rooms, it will have bus drivers and engineers, passenger rooms and busses actually in the bus garage.. Seems sensible to do it now rather than after it has closed.. ?? Should we do this with older mills and factories.. is our past disappearing before us?
